“That’s riiight. A normal monster wouldn’t listen to the commands of a
person who doesn’t have the Creature Training skill, not to mention working
out and training alongside them, you knooow!”
“Ah, I guess that makes sense. How stupid of me.”
It was disconcerting that the information could leak outside the castle so
easily, but I guess there was no stopping the rumor mill.
“But that’s not the only reason I’m here, my deeears. I’m still a teacher,
you knooow? I have to at least make sure my students are safe, you seeee. As
safe as you can be after being reincarnated, anywaaay!”
She said it jokingly, but I think she actually meant it, and I was kind of

“Does that mean you’ve already found others?”
“Oh, yesss. There are eleven students in the elf village, and I’ve managed
to contact six others, including the three of youuu. And I’ve located two
more, so I’ll be off to visit them next, you seeee.”
There were twenty-five students in our class.
Which would mean there were still six more whose whereabouts were
unknown.
But to put it another way, that meant only six students hadn’t been found.
In a vast world like this one, it must’ve been no small feat to find that
